IF YOU WANT TO GO FAST,

GO ALONE. IF YOU WANT

TO GO FAR, GO TOGETHER.

​The Maui Nui Makai Network has achieved great things since its beginning in 2013.

​As Maui Nui's first community-based marine conservation network, the Maui Nui Makai Network includes 6 community groups that do amazing work in their own areas across Maui Nui. Many of these groups have been managing their sites for years, some groups working for over 20 years. While no two sites are alike, their conservation values overlap and the Network is a reminder that each group is working hard in their own communities for big changes collectively.
